Adam Lewis, who served briefly as assisting clergy at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton, was a man of many talents and accomplishments. An Episcopal rector for nearly three decades, he left parish ministry to study at the Parsons School of Design and establish an interior decorating practice that remained active until two years ago.
Golden Eagle Once More
Youth art classes have officially returned at the Golden Eagle art supply store in East Hampton after a pandemic-related hiatus. Snap School, a cellphone photography workshop for kids ages 12 and up, runs Saturday mornings in May starting May 8 via Zoom and continues in June in person in the store's art barn. The cost is $295.
On May 18, East Hampton School District voters will have a chance to weigh in on a $75.16 million spending plan for the 2021-22 school year. The school board voted Tuesday night to adopt that budget, which carries a year-over-year spending increase of $1.28 million.
The associated tax-levy increase is within state limits at 2.87 percent, which is the maximum amount East Hampton could institute while still only needing a simple majority of voter approval.
To celebrate Earth Day, children at the John M. Marshall Elementary School decorated paper bags that will be distributed to customers of Mary's Marvelous and Stop and Shop today. The students were taught about the importance of community service in the process.
"Kids made the bags to make our East Hampton community aware of Earth Day and hopefully encourage people to do something to help our Earth," said Karen Kuneth, the school's principal.
